It's literally turning a teachable moment into a resentful one while simultaneously teaching them that littering is okay. Please point me to the parts of this method that are good or effective.

Besides being a dumb ass comment that fails to address any of the points raised, why would you think that people who have a fondness for the Soviet Union would be fond of Russia, an imperialist capitalist oligarchy that has completely shed

I agree. Just because JS has its way of doing it does not mean you need to stick to that. I mean, TS adds a bunch of new keywords to the language that JS lacks. Why not simply stick to those intuitive keywords rather than this weird variabl

I can assure you that doing it in TS would not have been any slower and you would have gained all the benefits that static type checking brings with it. VueJS 3 in particular is much better suited to use TS than its predecessor (without any

This is so ass-backwards and you're practically twisting yourself over backwards a dozen times to somehow try to argue that this wasn't malicious. He basically poisoned the library, and you're blaming all the people who got p

But you didn't have to go to that restaurant! Don't you do a full health and safety inspection of every restaurant you visit (and of their entire supply chain)?

You can literally still do all of these things with a smartphone. I guess the wisdom here is to know yourself and your limits and whether you have an addictive personality.

About 75% of students who were polled were against banning books pretty much across the board. Does that fit within the ideological narrative you've constructed here for yourself though?

Ideally, sure. It is just my personal opinion that anti-science does not have equal value as science and should not be found right alongside it. Given the correct context and time and place, I don't fundamentally have an issue with the

Idk if you're still talking about Germany specifically or more global trends. Regarding Germany: gun control is a non-partisan issue and not even remotely part of the public discourse. Censorship of various degrees is written in German

Never said it's not worth studying. The methodology, resulting samples, one-sided nature, and biased and opinionated narrative structure of the paper (I urge you to read through it) make it entirely uninteresting is all. It's clea

If the lines of code were already very readable, they wouldn't require a comment. Comments are for interfaces or complex or inobvious code that can't easily be made more obvious simply through an expression of code IMO. The code e

Careful, you might trigger about half of HN with your proposal of readable code and small functions. This is literally always the right answer. Create a self-explanatory function or just use readable variable names. Or even createScrollbar(

That last argument sure sounds like an argument from feels rather than facts and logic, I thought the right hated that kind of rhetoric. The obvious answer is of course that health care is a public service and should not be reliant on chari
